What to do? (Long and Rambling)
Okay folks, long time, no see. But a bit of a recap. After Castaway Entertainment came to a sad, but gracefull end in 2006, I flopped around until March trying to find work. when at GDC I got an offer and signed up with a start up called Collision Studios, but I would have to relocate to Los Angeles. So by the end of march… -
Re: E3 2012 - Microsoft
For the press and investors in the audience, that was a great show. Microsoft throwing out big words like integration and connectivity makes that group happy. We the gamers however were subjected to another year of having pointless kinect functionality shoved in our faces. Halo 4 looked great, South Park looks like a ton… -
Re: Another pro sport, another exclusive deal....
Here's an interesting twist... - Nintendo has announced a first-person baseball game called Pennant Chase Baseball, to be released for GameCube on April 4th.

Re: the future or death of the sidescroller
Nintendo is working on a new sidescrolling Super Maripo Bros. game for the DS despite the system being capable of 3d. Another popular sidescroller would be Super Smash Bros. Melee which sold a few million. SCEA (Sony's american game department) apparently hates 2d games, at first they even rejected Viewtiful Joe (SCEI… -
Re: Nearly 50% of GameStops profits come from pre-owned sales (College Paper)
its a catch 22 right now really. Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft need Gamestop to sell there games because they sell the most copys there. Problem is Gamestop sells used games for 5 bucks cheaper hurting Sony, Nintendo and Microsofts profits from people buying used instead of new. They need Gamestop but Gamestop dosnt need… -
Re: Zelda: Wind waker Tech and Texture Analysis *picture heavy*
Do you mean the color banding? I think that's a result of Nintendo's compression format, which takes advantage of the fact that Twilight Princess runs in the GameCube's 18-bit color mode (really a disadvantage in my opinion, as it makes the game look uglier than it should be) to lower the texture file size without reducing… -
Re: It's Official: No More "Next-Gen"
"Trinity-gen" b/c it established Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo as the holy console trinity (a trend which has been carried over to the current gen). "DVD-gen" or "Disc-gen" b/c all major consoles used DVD or MiniDVD formats (the preceding gen still had Nintendo using cartridges and PS1 used a data CD). So far the current… -
Re: Retro Gaming Thread!
Man, Rilem! What a mistake. People tend to give me shit and look at me like some sort of Pariah when i tell them the Nintendo 64 was not a good system in Hindsight and most of the games were terrible. With the exception of a few Nintendo titles..There just aren't that many games that are still playable today. The only… -
Re: Wii Mario Kart
All the virtual console titles contain are the rom, emulator, and html files. And the rom's are apparently playable within snesx or zsnes. Donkey Kong Country 2 was cracked, I'll look for the link. Nintendo just does not seem interested in adding new features/support to virtual console games. (yes there's been a couple… -
Re: Is wii worth buying?
I think it ultimately depends on what kind of experience you're looking for. If you want to play first-person shooters and fighting games, you're probably better off with the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3. On the other hand, if multi-player and party games are your thing, then the Wii might be right up your alley.…
